Tuning: E A D G B E

Wave Over Wave – Great Big Sea The other tabs I found didnt sound quite right. Maybe they were, but I was playing them wrong. Anyways, this is an easy one to play: I found it off youtube – Brian Burry has the best (and one of the only) acoustic version of the song on the net. Hes awesome, check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noX2671Hmbs Use a capo on the 2nd fret Strum D U-D-U Intro: | Em A | X2

Oh me n^Dame's Abel Ro^Ggers, a sh^Dare-man am^D I, on a th^Gree-masted sch^Dooner from Tw^Emillingate I^Asle I've b^Geen the world o^Dver, north s^Gouth east and ^Dwest, but the m^Giddle of no^Dwhere's where ^EmI likes it ^Abest

Chorus: G D G D (He plays G D D D) Where it's wave over wave, sea over bow

I'm as h^Gappy a m^Dan as the ^Emsea will a^Allow there's ^Gno other l^Dife for a sa^Gilor like ^Dme, but to ^Gsail the salt s^Dea, boys, to ^Emsail the s^Aea there's ^Gno other life but to s^Aail the salt ^Dsea

D D G A X2 Well, I leave my wife lonely ten months of the year for she built me a home and raised my children dear She’d never come out to bid farewell to me or ken why a sailor must sail the salt sea Chorus Ah, The work it is hard and the hours are long, but my spirit is willing, my back it is strong, and when the work's over the whiskey will pour We'll dance with the girls upon some foreign shore Em Em A A X4 I've sailed the world over,four decades or more and oft times I wonder what I do it for I don't know the answer it's pleasure and pain but with life to live over I'd do it again Chorus X2
